<h1><a class="anchor" id="RoundRobin"></a>
Settings for Round-Robin Thread Switching</h1>
<p>CMSIS-RTOS RTX may be configured to use Round-Robin Multitasking thread switching. Round-Robin allows quasi-parallel execution of several threads. Threads are not really executed concurrently but are time-sliced where the available CPU time is divided into time slices and CMSIS-RTOS RTX assigns a time slice to each thread. Because the time slice is typically short (only a few milliseconds) it appears as though threads execute simultaneously.</p>
<p>Threads execute for the duration of their time-slice (unless the thread's time slice is given up). Then, CMSIS-RTOS RTX switches to the next thread that is ready to run and has the same priority. If no other task with the same priority is ready to run, the current running task resumes it execution.</p>
<p>Round-Robin Multitasking is controlled with the <b>#define OS_ROBIN</b>. The time-slice period is configured (in RTX Timer ticks) with the <b>#define OS_ROBINTOUT</b>.</p>
<p><b>Code Example:</b></p>
<p>The following example shows a simple CMSIS-RTOS RTX program that uses Round-Robin Multitasking. The two threads in this program are counter loops. RTX starts executing job 1, which is the function named job1. This function creates another task called job2. After job1 executes for its time slice, RTX switches to job2. After job2 executes for its time slice, RTX switches back to job1. This process repeats indefinitely.</p>
